The Grissom (not Griffin) is a nice looking ship, but it is only a
scout class ship, not a full-blown heavy cruiser.  It certainly will
not do as a replacement for the Enterprise.  We know that it is smaller
than the Enterprise because the Klingon ship was able to blow it away
with one shot, while the Enterprise also took a shot with shields down
and held together pretty well.
